(Borland and Sederland)

---

Attendance: Flutes - All Present with materials; Trumpets - No Show; Percussion - present with materials; Clarinet - WD

What we did ALL Students (Borland)

• Flutes
  • Review and played lines 1, 2, 3, 4 to establish fingerings and tone quality on the 3 beginning notes
  • Played line 7 for assessment of performance target; each player met proficiency and awarded white bead
  • Began looking at line 16 (Hot Cross Buns); just introducing so half note and quarter note rhythms may not be solid yet; Still need to discuss legato articulation on quarter notes (technique of playing legato on the air stream)
• Percussion
  • Assessed performance targets of line 23 and 25; continue to work toward proficiency
  • Assessed eighth note rhythms with Haskell-Harr lesson 7; continue to work toward proficiency

What to do for next lesson

• See above
